Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 14 cup minced parsley
  • 12 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons cream
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 14 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut in about 1/2 inch by 2 inch strips)
  • 34 teaspoon salt
  • 14 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1 12 cups sliced mushrooms
  • 34 cup high quality red wine
  • 1 12 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup beef stock (you may use chicken stock instead, but the flavour won't be as rich)
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 34 cup sour cream
  • 12 ounces dry wide egg noodles
  • sour cream
  • 1 sprig Italian parsley

Method

  • Place a pot of water on the stove and bring to a simmer.
  • Cover until ready to cook the noodles.
  • To make the Parsley butter, in a food processor, combine the butter, garlic, parsley,s alt and sour cream.
  • Process until smooth, then set aside.
  • To cook the chicken, in a very large nonstick pan, heat 2 TBS of the olive oil over a medium high heat until hot.
  • Add the chicken and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Saute for 4 to 5 minutes, until the chicken is lightly browned on the outside and about 3/4 cooked.
  • With a slotted spoon, remove the chicken from the pan to a plate and set aside, keeping the pan on the heat.
  • Add the remaining 1 TBS oil to the pan, then add the onions and mushrooms.
  • Stirring often, cook for 2 to 4 minutes, until the onions are tender.
  • Add the wine, turn the heat up to high and cook until the wine is almost evaporated, 4 to 6 minutes.
  • Meanwhile in a small bowl, mix together the Worcestershire, beef stock, and cornstarch until smooth.
  • Add the mixture to the pan after the wine has evaporated, and bring to a boil.
  • The sauce should thicken slightly.
  • Stir in the 3/4 cup of sour cream, then add the reserved chicken.
  • Cook until heated through.
  • Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to the package directions until just tender.
  • Drain well and place back in the cooking pot.
  • Add the Parsley butter and stir until well coated.
  • Divide the noodles among large individual pasta bowls and top with the chicken and sauce.
  • Garnish each serving with a dollop of sour cream and a parsley sprig.
